JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Receiver/defensive again Travis Hunter signed his four-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday night, the group introduced.
The deal — price $46.65 million totally assured — features a $30.57 million signing bonus paid up entrance.
Hunter is the primary non-quarterback not drafted first total to get his signing bonus fully up entrance, based on his brokers, Adie von Gontard and Ray Haija of Younger Cash APAA Sports activities.
Hunter was the final of the highest 10 draft picks to signal his contract. Solely two first-round picks remained unsigned: Cincinnati edge rusher Shemar Stewart (seventeenth) and Denver cornerback Jahdae Barron (twentieth).
The Jaguars traded 4 draft picks — Nos. 5, 36 and 126 and a first-round choice in 2026 — to the Cleveland Browns to maneuver up three spots to decide on Hunter second.
Jacksonville plans to play Hunter on either side of the ball, as Colorado did when he gained the 2024 Heisman Trophy. Hunter spent the majority of OTAs and obligatory minicamp engaged on offense however did commit a minimum of one full follow to protection.
Hunter practiced on each offense and protection on the ultimate day of the group’s three-day minicamp, which coach Liam Coen mentioned is the plan for the rookie throughout coaching camp.
